"It's more of a misunderstanding than a run-in" - 32-year-old star tries to clear the air with The Usos before huge matchup next week
WWE Superstar Zelina Vega recently spoke about The LWO's run-in with The Usos backstage on this week's SmackDown.
On the latest episode of the blue brand, The Usos were humiliated by Roman Reigns and apologized on live TV for losing two title matches. When Jimmy and Jey Uso returned backstage, they got into a heated argument with The LWO. The Bloodline members assumed that the faction was laughing over their unfortunate circumstances.
Later on SmackDown LowDown, Zelina Vega tried to explain the situation. She mentioned that the group was discussing her match with Rhea Ripley in Puerto Rico last week when The Usos overheard them.
She made it clear that they had no intentions of insulting the former Undisputed Tag Team Champs.
"It's more of a misunderstanding than a run-in. Listen, you're talking about the best night of my career and that's exactly what we were talking about. But Cruz used the word 'uso' which means use. So in their mind, I'm sure, they heard it and thought 'uso' they're laughing at their very unfortunate situation. But we had nothing to do with that. Nothing in our minds was thinking to make fun of them. So how they took it is their own problem." [From 2:00 - 2:27]
